Say Hello to LINK Messenger!

03.09.2016LINK Team

There's a new way to keep in touch with your friends and family, and it's available now on Android and iOS. Say hello to LINK Messenger!

When we first released LINK – with people nearby in 2014, we were already thinking about the future. We were eager to see what you guys liked most about LINK, how you used it, and what you thought could be made even better. So we asked around and we did a little research, and we found that people were using LINK to message the people they cared most about.

From there we set out to create a fun, streamlined experience. We wanted to make chatting effortless and intuitive. Whether you wanted to talk privately one-on-one or with a big group of all your friends, whether you want to video or voice call, whether you're talking to someone down the street or on the other side of the world, LINK Messenger is there.

And just like we promised you with LINK Social, it's free. Download it today and come say hello!

Let’s Make it Rain

03.27.2015

Did you know that over 780 million people in the world don’t have access to clean water?
Every year, the health of millions is gravely affected by unsafe drinking water and sanitation every year. World Water Day is not just about celebrating water, but spreading awareness of water as a global issue.

Did you know that over 780 million people in the world don’t have access to clean water?

Every year, the health of millions is gravely affected by unsafe drinking water and sanitation every year. World Water Day is not just about celebrating water, but spreading awareness of water as a global issue.

That’s why we created #LINKh2o, a charity drive that we ran from 3/19 - 3/22. For every thousand downloads of our water-themed sticker set, Plip & Plop, we donated $100 to Water Now! We also had some sweet swag giveaways. Congratulations to our lucky LINK water bottle winners!

All in all, we donated $300 to Water Now. Big thanks to everyone who helped increase our donation by downloading our new sticker set, Plip & Plop. We made it rain.

Private Chat is Here!

We’re excited to announce the arrival of our latest new feature: Private Chat! These are the main features.

Private Chat...

1. Encrypts messages between end-to-end users for privacy protection

2. Leaves no trace on any server

3. Has a self-destruct timer you can set

4. Lets you choose whether or not users can copy-paste your messages

Now, at this point you probably have some questions. Let’s try and answer them!

Q: How is Private Chat different from regular chat?

Private Chat allows people to have more secrecy and privacy while messaging. To ensure your messages are protected, all messages in Private Chat use end-to-end encryption. What does ‘end-to-end encryption’ mean, you ask? It means your messages are virtually impossible to decode and access, even by us. In addition, we wanted to give you the option to choose whether or not your messages can be copy-pasted by the other person. And because Private Chat uses a peer-to-peer delivery, your messages will leave zero trace on our servers.

Private Chat also lets you set a self-destruct timer on your messages, voice notes, and media. The timer will begin to countdown once your message has been seen. Once the set time has been reached, the message will explode from both you and the other person’s screen - literally!

Q: Aren’t all chats ‘private’ and secure?

Yes, all your messages on LINK are safely and securely sent to your friends. The most significant difference is that Private Chat uses end-to-end encryption. Regular chat uses our servers to send messages so that all your messages are in sync on all devices. Private Chat stores your messages on your device.

Q: How do I start a Private Chat?

When you visit a friend’s profile, tap “Chat” at the bottom of the screen. Once you’re in a regular chat room with your friend, tap the Lock icon at the top of the screen. It’s easy! But remember, both users have to be online for a Private Chat to begin.

What are you waiting for? Update your Android device to version 1.3.0 and begin LINKing with friends in Private Chat - the most secure, protected chat out there!
